The pen is dry,
The ink, disappeared
The last line on the page
So imperfectly smeared

Clumsy fingers,
Gnarled and bent
No longer hold words
Forgotten lament

Countless hours wasted
All, for a couple of thoughts
Illegible, at best
Oh, but it was for naught

She poured her heart out
Every broken, shattered piece
The pain and anguish
Gave this child no release

Another place, perhaps
She may have found her way
But not in this realm of torture
She’d have to wait another day

Seems like forever…

Since I’ve been here….

Good morning, friends.  I just wanted to stop in and say hello and tell you how much I miss all of you and your wonderful posts.  I was hoping to be back full time at the start of 2021 but once again, life got in the way.

I am in the process of selling my mom’s home, the very home I grew up in, and am having a most difficult time with all of it.  Because of this, and my mom’s passing last June, I haven’t had the desire to sit down and write.  I’ve put out a few poems, here and there, but nothing is striking a cord with me right now.  I’m sure, eventually, I will find my way back.

As some of you might know, I am also an Independent LuLaRoe Retailer and that also, has me crazy busy.  A little personal plug here – We are currently holding a Fundraiser for Sjogren’s Syndrome until January 24th.  It’s an autoimmune disease my daughter was diagnosed with in 2012. We are trying to raise awareness about this horrid condition.  A portion of every sale goes to the organization and LuLaRoe matches that amount.  So, if you desire a new shirt, sweater, jacket, etc, even the men, please do consider shopping online with us. (USA Only).  The website is shop.lularoebless.com/dorindaduclos

Have a blessed and peaceful Sunday.  I hope all is well in your neck of the woods, or over the pond.

Dorinda

Given at My Behest – #dark #poetry

Conversation lags
As tension fills the air
Words I wish to say aloud,
But never will I dare.

Turn the wrath of devil’s breath,
Into a burning pyre
Anger lashes back at me,
And I begin to tire.

Wonder what it is I seek,
Outside my bolted door
Is there life beyond the pale?
Or is it nothing more

Than washed out wishes
And fallen dreams
A silence filled
With curdling screams?

Try again, to fight the pain,
Encumbering at best
A plight I’d never give myself
Is given at my behest.

Strange that I would choose this path,
Heavy thorns do block my way
What happened in the aftermath?
Was it something I did say?

Tis my point of view

When life stops within one’s soul

Deviancy thrives

With each flickering flame, my years unfold

Tapering down, leaving days of untold

Dripping memories, of past events

Happier times, still I’m not quite content

Candelabra in hand, a welcoming light

The fire, still burning, with no end in sight

Celebrating the day, reaching for more

Wondering what this life has in store

As closer to Halloween, comes the time

Knowing I still haven’t yet reached my prime

So, I’ll blow out the candles, let the wax seal my fate

On this day in October, 2020, twenty-eight

 

In case you haven’t figured it out, today is my birthday. I originally posted this four years ago and have amended it to reflect this years date. I’m off for the day! See you tomorrow ❤
